TAILOR, that saved me But the riches
of that grace viii not be fully under
1tood until heaven breaks IN upon the
seal. an old $ gttchman, who had been
"a soldier ia one Of The European wars.
WAS sick and dying in ore OF our
American hospitals. Hi one desire
was 10 see SCOTLAND and his old home,
aud once again walk the heather of the
Highlands, and near The bagpipes OF
the Scotch regiments. The night that
the old SEQ CT soldier died, II young
man, somewhat reckless but kind
hearted, got 4 COMPANY OF musicians
to come aud play under the old sol
dier's window, and among the ins,ru-
ments there WAS II Nagpipe. The in
slant that the musicians began
the dying old man in delirum said:
Whats that, what's thatp Why, it's
the regiments coming hone. That's
the tune, yes, thst's the tune. Thank
God, | have got home once Msre!'
''Bonnv Scotland and Bonny boon"
were the last words he uttered rs he
passed up to the Highlands of the bet
ter country. And there are here to-
day hundreds bomc>ick for heaven,

you die is free grace, and forever be-
| fore the throne of Gbd you will sing O.
the s'grace Of our Lord Jesus Christ,

.'FoR OUR sAKEs!
For we all have our temptations. and
bereavements, and conflicts. For our
sakes! We who deserve for our sins
TO be expatriated into a world as much
poorer than this than this earth was
| poorer than heaven. For our sakes!
Bat what a fruitful coming down to
take US gloriously up. Wien Artt-
xerxcs was hunting, Tirebazus who was
attending him, showed the king a rent
N his garment. The king said: "How
shall I mend ltP' by giving it to
me-" said Ttr-bazus. Then the king
gave him the robe, but commanded
him never 10 wear it MS it would be in
| appropriate. Sc the startling and
comforting fact, while our PriBcs
| throws off the habit he not only allows
MS to wear 1t but commands us to wear
it, and it will become us well. and fol
the %poverties of our spiritual state WE
may put on the sp'endors Of heavenly
reyalement. For our sakes! O, the
PERSONALITY OF THIS RELIGION!
